This week, it is reported that actor David Carradine's wife file a wrongful death claim against a French company that oversaw Carradine's last film.  In her lawsuit, Carradine's widow claims that the company failed to provide proper services to protect the actor, who was found dead in a hotel room last year.

The defendant of the lawsuit is MK2 S.A., a French company that was producing a movie called "Stretch".  Carradine's widow says that the company had promised to provide the actor with the best amenities as well as an assistant to help him with his stay in Bangkok. 

However, they left him to eat at a restaurant by himself the night before he was discovered dead.  Carradine allegedly called his assistant an hour after eating, but was told that the group was across town and that he would have to navigate the city on his own that night.  

Her lawsuit states, "Defendants were negligent in failing to follow industry standard and provide David Carradine, the performer, with sufficient assistant during the course of filming Stretch in Bangkok, Thailand".

At this time, MK2 has refused to comment on the litigation.
